PlayStation是全球最暢銷的電腦游戲產(chǎn)品,世界電子產(chǎn)品巨頭日本索尼公司在一起版權(quán)官司中敗訴后,將面臨9070萬美元的巨額罰款,并不能在美國發(fā)售PlayStation電腦游戲。但索尼公司表示要上訴,并在上訴期間繼續(xù)銷售PlayStation。外電報道如下:A judge has ordered Sony Corp. to pay $90.7 million to a company that develops technology that enhances video game realism but immediately stayed an order that would halt U.S. sales of Sony's popular PlayStation consoles.
San Jose-based Immersion Corp. sued Sony in 2002, saying the Japanese company violated two of its patents, using them to create tactile feedback features.
A federal jury in Oakland decided in favor of Immersion in September and ordered Sony to pay $82 million in damages.
Realism意思為“現(xiàn)實(shí)態(tài)度;現(xiàn)實(shí)主義”,在此表示“真實(shí)性,逼真程度”。在哲學(xué)術(shù)語中,它表示“唯實(shí)論”,即與唯名論相對的一種哲學(xué)信條,認(rèn)為宇宙是以其被認(rèn)為的看法而獨(dú)立地存在的。
據(jù)悉,2002年,一家美國科技公司Immersion控告索尼侵犯版權(quán),在感應(yīng)技術(shù)方面了盜用了該公司的兩項專利。加州一家法庭去年判決索尼賠償8200美元,索尼上訴后美國聯(lián)邦法院維持原判,但包括相關(guān)的利息,罰款由原先的8200美元增加到9070美元,這比Immersion公司去年營業(yè)額2380萬美元高三倍。
